Growing up, my brothers were fascinated by the first “Rocky” movie. They were trying to get stronger and excel in sports, so one scene stood out almost as much as Rocky sprinting up the museum steps: Before sunrise, Rocky cracked raw eggs into a glass and drank them.
To a teenager, this raised some questions. Why raw eggs? Was this what you needed to build muscle and become stronger? Curiosity eventually won, but one gulp was enough. The drink was as nasty as it looked. The scene was as much about showing Rocky’s toughness as it was about making a protein-rich drink to become stronger.
